Hey guys! I haven't seen many reviews on this gun besides on youtube. I have found none on AGN and believe there should be some written reviews for every gun.
So here I am sharing my experience with the Daystate Redwolf. The gun is by far one of the most beautiful guns I have ever owned. I have always wanted to own a RAW in laminate red stock. This gun took the role of that. The electronic system is interesting and helpful at times and changing power settings with the electronics is just amazing. I think Daystate really got something right with the current generation of electronics. I'm not saying they are perfect but Daystate really is moving in an "interesting" direction with the electronic system. Someday I see great improvements to the electronic system that will be a huge gamechanger in the airgun industry.
Let me start with some pros:
cons:
Neutral Fact:
So in conclusion,
This gun is not for everyone. I like it and it has a place. However, the design is just not for me. I think Daystate is on the right track with electronic controlled air rifles. However, it is still very rudimentary in my opinion. The efficacy of the Mapped Compensated Technology is questionable compared to just having a regulator. Daystate implementing a regulator on the Daystate R further makes me question this. Right now im at a 50/50 on whether i should keep the gun or sell it. Hope my review will be a benefit to those interested in purchasing it.
Here is a slideshow to show my joy and problems from this rifle.

So here I am sharing my experience with the Daystate Redwolf. The gun is by far one of the most beautiful guns I have ever owned. I have always wanted to own a RAW in laminate red stock. This gun took the role of that. The electronic system is interesting and helpful at times and changing power settings with the electronics is just amazing. I think Daystate really got something right with the current generation of electronics. I'm not saying they are perfect but Daystate really is moving in an "interesting" direction with the electronic system. Someday I see great improvements to the electronic system that will be a huge gamechanger in the airgun industry.
Let me start with some pros:
- It is reliably accurate. Mine preferred the heavier .22s JSBs. So the airgungearshow's statement that the JSB 18.3s are the most accurate for the gun will not apply for everyone. I think under half in at 50 yards with mine shooting JSBs Monsters (nonredesigned) was the best for me. However, I am still doing testing.
- The trigger is by far the best I have ever used, just a perfect stage one and two. It is also the lightest trigger I've owned. I have already accidentally fired it twice.
- The stock is stunning and carbon fiber shroud is a great decision. I'd like to see this on other air rifle companies like FX
- pressure is digitally measured
- Daystate quality supercedes all of the manufacturers I have used.
- you have an indicator vibration when you are out of pellets in your magazine
- Anti-double load magazine is just phenomenal and absolutely one of the best magazine designs.
- The most quietest air rifle I have ever owned. Much quieter than my Impact in .25 and all my wildcats.
- Buttery smooth Action. You are not cocking back a hammer, just cycling the magazine.
- magnetic dust cap is fun and magnetic magazine is awesome
- MCT system actually works just as well as regulated gun!!
- Long Battery life(its been almost a month on one charge-no low battery notification yet)
cons:
- The Redwolf's battery design needs some love. In fact, it uses a cheap china lipo battery found in RC cars and airsoft guns. Then the power chord is absolutely cancerous, pull too hard on the battery and you'll have to take off the stock and open the electronic systems to plug back in the power cord going to the MCT system. They really should have an integrated battery and an outside charging port area instead of removing the battery to charge every time.
- removing the shroud to put it in the case is also a huge hassle. You will need to remove the entire stock to put on the shroud where the grub screws for the shroud are on the bottom.
- You need to remove the battery to remove the stock which is a hassle.
- The case is generic besides the SE and red case. No cut foam to fit the gun perfectly like the impact. Really disappointing considering the price point.
- Very expensive module to tune the gun.
- You need to buy an adapter to convert UK's standard 220V to 110V USA. I had to splice some wires.
- cleaning the barrel with patchworm requires you to remove orings or risk damaging your breach->barrel oring.
Neutral Fact:
- The stock is extremely fragile. Wood on wood contact with my wall mount caused delamination or indenting of the laminate. It just soaks up scratches. However, this is what you are paying for. Just an important point that not a lot of people expect.
- Its extremely long and heavy. Probably the longest rifle i've ever owned. This can not necessarily be a con since you should expect this kind of weight with this style.
- I have not tried using straws but I've had to remove the shroud and stock just to clean the barrel with patchworm.
- they are asking for 400$ for the programming module!!!!!
So in conclusion,
This gun is not for everyone. I like it and it has a place. However, the design is just not for me. I think Daystate is on the right track with electronic controlled air rifles. However, it is still very rudimentary in my opinion. The efficacy of the Mapped Compensated Technology is questionable compared to just having a regulator.
